Harvard/Exeter grad, former assistant state Atty Gen of Massachusetts with impeccable establishment credentials, heir to insurance fortune, dies in 2001 and leaves his enormous fortune to an array of Nazis and white supremacists he'd been funding for years. Boston Globe, 7 January 2001.

Surprising dearth of information on Wikipedia about James K. Warner and his “church.”

unfortunately, there was literally no way to predict that a Harvard alumnus who went on to become a prosecutor had any problematic beliefs or associations

Nothing complex about it. Nazi. Racist. Anti-Semite. Gotcha. He's dead. Good.

the "polish freedom fighter" & this dude, are more evidence that the currently growing hate & lies has always been w/ us. it's just a matter of the volume being turned up or down, depending on their power. They are currently reps in Congress, judges in courts & running for re-election as president.
